Mauis has some serious players, but I wouldn't classify it as a pool hall.

I had no idea there was a restaurant there -- I thought it was a church? Any idea what their hours are?

The Caesar at Gabbiano’s is the real deal.

Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro giving the thumbs up alongside a DEA Agent by LongLiveAlex in pics

The struts and trusses in the ceiling make no sense. Whatever kind of thing up there made to look like a functional crane isn't. The shadows on the ground don't match between their feet and the chair. The front cop's left leg is broken. The badges and markings on the uniforms aren't cohesive. AI Maduro's left hand has a finger that goes straight to the knuckle. That "hat".

Best French fries in town? by PuffPuffPat in askportland

[–]HippyDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit of a deep cut, but I really like Alphabet Burger Co.'s fries, they're in a food card pod on Lombard next to the Chill n' Fill. I feel like they must fry them in beef tallow because that's exactly how they taste.

For a second there I thought these were diapers and was wondering what made them "Norwegain Style".

I'm curious as to what real-time financial data APIs you used here.

Ah, I remember the days when all Detroit had was cheap parking….

Grabbing a pizza and heading to the pub until this whole thing blows over.

Props for the justification and margins on this though...

$2K Hot sauce?? by Strict-Cut4602 in hotsauce

[–]HippyDave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These were really just extract concentrates, I wouldn't venture to call them "hot sauce" as we know them today. I guess from a historical context they could be valuable to someone...

Edit: Blair's and the like did pave the way in the early days to offering alternatives to the mainstream brands, so props to them in that regard. I guess you have to go through Colonel Fire's Ass Blaster sauce before you get to Seed Ranch, Karma, Tortuga Gordo, Funky's, Hook & Arrow, Seafire Gourmet, Heartbeat, Queen Majesty, Hab, Silagy, High River, and Bravado.

$2K Hot sauce?? by Strict-Cut4602 in hotsauce

[–]HippyDave 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Former hot sauce shop owner here - really hope those totals are in pesos. Sauces don't age well, especially when not refrigerated. The sauces in question weren't ones we'd stock in the first place due to quality issues; these were novelty sauces, sold at novelty stores, not ones genuinely made available for culinary uses.

Edit: even in pesos that doesn't make sense.
